Covert 62.5% to a fraction, reduced to lowest terms

Answer 1

To convert a percentage to a fraction, we can divide the percentage by 100 and simplify if possible.

So, by dividing 62.5 by 100, we get:

62.5/100 = 625/1000

Now, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 125:

625/1000 = (625 ÷ 125)/(1000 ÷ 125) = 5/8

Therefore, 62.5% can be reduced to the lowest terms as the fraction 5/8.
